Debussy was fond of reproducing on the pianoforte the sound of bells. We have already this week heard two pieces in which such suggestions occur-the Cathedral under the Waves and Pagodas. Here is another of his many subtle conceptions which make an instant appeal to the imagination.
In the other piece we may conjure up a picture of a great stone fountain-pond in a green park, the sun shining on the gently-lapping water, and the graceful goldfish curving their cool way about the basin, and now and again, with a flirt of the tail, darting off in their inconsequent way.
